Summary: Same storyline, same actors, longer play, same punchline!
Review: This is a great move in the X-files story, develops very well the story (could we expect less?), the acting is good, it keeps most of the story of the Tv series, but I believe its just a very long episode, not a season ending as it should have been. You can never know the truth, at the ending, you find its a good movie, but it leaves you with a few questions answered and a lot of more questions asked.The eternal x-files questions about a relationship between the characters, the authors of the complot, the alien invasion, the genetic experiments, the black cancer origin, etc., remain not fully answered. Its very difficult to find its value if you are not a real x-files fan. Even through the staff tried it to be understandable for everyone, I guess they just did not accomplished this. This should have been a reward for the fans for watching and following x-files for several years on TV. If youre a fan, you will find it interesting, but unfortunately, nothing more.

Summary: Whistle the theme music.
Review: Not being a massive "X-Head", wasn't all worked up about this movie. Till I watched it on my home theater sysytem. Wow... the effects and sound... the music. DTS is the way to go on DVD! Makes the film that much more enjoyable.

Summary: Good adaptation of the TV series for the big screen.
Review: The X-Files is nearly synonymous with TV pop culture in the 90s. How then, will it translate into a movie? The answer? Quite nicely. The film is both engaging and intelligent, and the production design is top notch. It's accessible to both fans of the TV series, and those who have never seen it, although it will be more appreciated by those who are familar with the show. I haven't seen the DVD, so I can't comment on the DVD quality, but the film itself is highly recommended to fans of the sci-fi genre.

Summary: Disappointing movie edition of cult TV series
Review: I might get in trouble with "X Files" fanatics in this review. Lucky for me, you only know my Email address. I sound as paranoid as Scully and Mulder. There were raging debates over the merits of the movie version of the long running Fox network series. Fans of the show seemed to be divided between those who thought it was a spectacular picture and those who thought it somehow betrayed the spirit of the series. People who had not watched it on TV came out of theaters either mesmerized or clueless. I think I know the reason for all the emotional reactions. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time a film has been made based on a network series that is still in production. ... I personally have watched maybe five episodes of "The X Files", partly because I lead a life which has no routine schedule. My eccentric life aside, I found it to be less original than "Twin Peaks", which was also about an FBI agent dealing with things most mysterious. It also did not have the divine humor of the bizarre "Northern Exposure", which isn't science fiction, but does seem to describe life on another planet. It is obvious to me that, had the movie been made after the series had finished production, it might have been great. As it is, the creators could not develop a plot that gave too much away, since that would have damaged the current season. If the flick had been an original idea, it would have ranked somewhere in-between "Independence Day" and "Total Recall". I understood the movie well enough. I also have enough awareness of the series to find Scully's always doubting Mulder to be getting rather tiresome. If she hasn't clued in by now, then she's not cut out to be a detective. I kept thinking she'd be better off going to medical school, as she always threatens to do. The climax of the film takes place in Antarctica. Mulder is wearing a Walmart parka and gloves which he takes off a few minutes after his arrival. As someone pointed out to me, in the movie's seasonal timeframe, it would be about seventy degrees below zero there. But then, this is yet another sci-fi story where the fate of the entire human race is in the hands of one man. So I suppose we are lucky he didn't die of frostbite. To "The X Files" credit, they are having a devil of a time defeating the aliens. This is refreshing. In Hollywood, it is a given that we are attacked by vastly superior beings from outer space. Oddly, we always win. By that logic, if America attacked the Fiji Islands, they would annihilate us.

Summary: A Total Disappointment
Review: This basically played like a 2nd rate mytharc episode without
commercials.
Badly written and convoluted, this film marked the beginning of
the end for this once great show.
It made me realize the truth isn't out there and that the creators of the show are only in it for the money.

Summary: A great supplement to the traditional mythology
Review: Here is a story that does not require the audience have an indepth understanding of the running mythology in the series while catering to those that have followed it religously. The on-set lighting styles remain consistent with the series as well as Chris Carter's tradition of always leaving his audience asking questions even as some are answered. I won't bore the fans with history already familiar nor will I ruin the story for newbies, but strongly recommend this film to anyone with tastes running toward sci-fi.

Summary: Once More: FIGHT THE FUTURE!
Review: TV's X-FILES...with re-emergence of Fox Mulder...moves toward what promises to be a spectacular finale in Chris Carter's Conspiracy/ Sci-fi epic. Fans might want to review and series'ingenues acquaint themselves with X-FILES: The Movie, Rob Bowman's X-tremely well-done big screen recapitulation of the almost-unique series that's admirably matched the original TWILIGHT ZONE in thrills, chills and uncomfortable pay-off episodes that are classic "indian givers".
The X-Files movie delivers the goods with story((...background; plot projection and a not-disappointing apocalyptic climax...)); excellent production values, and FX. The chemistry between David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as intrepid FBI special agents Mulder and Scully, supplies believable moments of human and heroic bonding in pursuit of BAD GUYS that has been the series signum. The film writes characters LARGE and the bad guys are revealed as mythically evil. Armin Mueller-Stahl(of KAFKA and THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR)quietly seethes with inhuman menace as the human leader of Conspiracy which will betray humanity to genetic enslavement and possible extermination by ALIEN FORCES. Originally entitled,"FIGHT THE FUTURE!"...the X-FILES is great entertainment. There is suspense; action, and revelation of many "wheels within wheels" plot lines that have driven the series to rare TV success. What the future of the X-Files is, will soon be revealed.(Or maybe it won't.)The movie is worthy of a look to viewers who enjoy sci-fi or fantasy adventure with chilling elements of mystery and genuine dread paced as "police" procedural thriller.

Summary: A great movie, but mainly for fans only
Review: "The X-Files: Fight the Future" was really the climax for the X-Files television series. Before the movie, the series came out of nowhere, with untested plot schemes and untested actors. Although a gamble, The X-Files gripped us all to investigate the paranormal and we identified with the characters of Mulder and Scully. After the movie, the series went in a totally different direction. Duchovny left the series a while after, and Anderson was left to hold the series by herself. It was a different show after this movie. Contrary to public belief, this is a movie, not a two-hour episode like most critics think. With a big plot, some smart humor, and a twist of romance, this movie entertains. The best performance here goes to Duchovny who (as always) is the target of the Syndicate, and gets informed by Dr. Kurtzweil (a paranoid Martin Landau) about FEMA as the secret government. He also turns emotional when it looks like Scully will be leaving him. Problem with this movie is, if you've never seen an episode, the movie is pretty much a big ball of puzzlement. If you have, then you're fine. Great movie either way.

Summary: Probably more for die-hard fans only
Review: The first time I watched The X Files movie Fight the Future, I didn't like it. In fact, it bored me to tears. But that was three years ago and I was only a minor X Files fan at the time. Now, however, I own the first four seasons on DVD and have the Nitpickers Guide for X-Philes by my side as I watch each episode. So I figured it was time to go back to give Fight the Future another try. Okay, it was better this time. But only because I am now a bona fide X-Phile. If I was still a marginal fan, or someone who didn't know much at all about The X Files, the movie would still bore me to tears. Let's face it, gang, this movie could have been far better. Look at the facts: 1. The big screen and the unlimited possibilities for it.
2. All the show's top stars reprising their roles.
3. Chris Carter.
4. Additional movie stars (such as the always interesting Martin Landau) along for the ride. Yet... I thought there were more thrills and chills in a few classic episodes of the TV show than I found in this entire movie! Frankly, Fight the Future was like watching an extended episode of the TV show -- with only an occasional cuss word thrown in to prove that it wasn't television. As I said, I enjoyed watching the movie this time because I've come to know and like Scully and Mulder. I think David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson make a great team. Plus, now I understand who the Lone Gunmen are. And I can see that Skinner has a little decency inside of himself after all (in spite of his hardass exterior). In other words I Get It. I'm with ya, Chris. But the first X Files movie just never reached the level it could have. All the stops weren't pulled out. I think everyone was still thinking "small screen" when they should have been thinking "SILVER SCREEN!". For the next X Files movie (and I hear one is being considered), why not try thinking TOTALLY outside of the box -- the TV box, that is. Blow us away next time! And, while you're at it, bring back David Duchovny. The X Files just isn't the same without him.
